Beta Theta Pi Fraternity Builds First Chapter House On Campus
This is one of a series of U.D.K. articles on organized houses.
Beta Theta Pi, founded at Miami university, Oxford, Ohio, in 1839, is the oldest college fraternity west of the Allegheny mountains. The Kansas chapter, Alpha Nu, is the oldest college fraternity chapter at the University.
The historic home of the Kansas Betas is a three-story grey stone structure at 1425 Tennessee street. The oldest fraternity house at KU, it was built at the close of the Civil War as the home of John Phillip Usher, secretary of the interior in Lincoln's cabinet. The cabinet presented Usher with a solid marble fireplace, probably the Betas' proudest possession.
President of the 61 members is Jim Stewart, engineering senior. Mrs. Burt A. Weber is housemother.
Alumni of the Kansas chapter include the late Senator Borah of Idaho, the late J.C. Nichols and K.U. Chancellors Deane W. Malott and Dr. Franklin D. Murphy.

Why not pause a moment between or after classes to take the load off your feet? See the campus from one of the benches situated in choice spots around the University.
West of Green hall and overlooking the grove is a large bench with an inscription running around the sides and back of it to the effect that it was presented by the class of 1914 to the University of Kansas.
Is the inscription on this one. In three corners of the bench are the names of Rose Morgan, Edith Clarke, and Kate Stephens. In the fourth corner is the date of their donation—April, 1916.

Rains of heaven lave it
Sons of men save it
